That is horrible, absolutely horrible. It sounds like a bad horror movie. Why can't people learn to kill themselves more politely here?? Jumping in front of trains, plunging to their death from buildings and killing others in the fall and now this!! Honestly...

God how I hate Japanese tv and all the bimbo tarento out there. They should be called "no-tarento" instead. Anyway, Eiko Koitke is ok.

Initially I think it is not good but sometimes necessary. Hitting head/face is not good but smacking the hands or butt is pretty effective. You need to put fear into kids. That is the probably with kids today---no respect, no fear.

what "parental supervision" in Japan? There is none. This country needs some serious re-education about disciplining and supervising children. I can't tell you how many times I want to grab a mother and shake some sense into her. Children are terrible here and mothers just spoil them because they are…

You know this topic is starting to piss me off. I wish people would stop freaking out about population decline and low birth rate. As far as I can see, Japan needs to seriously shrink its population and come up with ways to prevent the population from migrating to Tokyo…

I have to admire this man because being a councilman in Japan has to be one of the most tedious & frustrating jobs ever! He must have the patience of Job--or maybe not and that's why he is accomplishing things...

GW, I agree there are a lot of men out there who I would not consider marrying but not just in Japan but also in my home country & countries other than Japan. While there are unfit spouses/partners worldwide, I also believe that you can probably find someone for you…

Indeed, this topic has really gone off in all directions. I think gaijin women get the worst end of the deal here. Not only do they have to put up with unflattering stereotypes (fat, loud, too 'strong', possessive, domineering, unfashionable, unable to cook/clean, don't make good wives etc) but J-men…

ok, well riddle me this---why do gaijin men act surprised and even slightly offended when they find out my husband is Japanese. Like how could I betray my race!?!
